Writing text file in execlusive mode

[viglu]

But also setting permissions will not help me.
I launch my qt program which write the file and I can also open it with an other program.

In Windows you can create a file with execlusiv rights, that's what I want to do with QT

I don't know what 'exclusive rights' are, but someone - usually the owner, sometimes others - will always be able to read/write a file they've created. Any program that creates files in my user space that I am unable to manipulate is a program that will be headed to the trash heap in an instant.

If you can't set file permissions (and that's what they are) to what you'd like them to be using QFile, make a system call to the Windows API.

I think he means a mandatory lock. That's possible for Windows but not for Linux since locking is not mandatory there on most filesystems.
